Hi guys,

I was earlier interested in getting a Prado but after stumbling on to this forum I kinda change my mind and decided to look for a Rexton instead. Kena racun by you guys. Budget around 50k.

I went to see the add above today, the SUV had a price tag of RM 58.8k. Mileage was 140k and it was not as advertised. No service record. Had leather seat but no 3rd blower. So I wasn't so interested as it has no 3rd blower.

I veiwed another 2 more Rex, one at Jalan Gombak (Setia Jaya) but unfortunately it does not have leather seat. Mileage was 80k i think. Have service record up to 50k @ 2008. Dealer don't give any warranty and does not agree to let you take the car to have a check up.

The other one was in Selayang but had a price tag of 66k for 2005 model. Dealer say can take to SC for check up upon paying downpayment. I didnot test drive it yet. Wasn't very interested due to the listed price.

Ken


Hi Ken,

For a RM50k budget, I think it would be at least 12 years old Prado but you could get a 2004 Rexton that has much more power and advance engine, 5 speed transmission, ABS, EBD, etc..

In recent months, Rexton has been in very hot demand and the resale market price for RX270XDI did not actually dropped from last year but in fact, it seems increased slightly this year. This is a good sign that there is a strong demand in resale market which helps to stablise and protect price depreciation.

I just saw these recent ads that's pretty good price

1. Rexton RX270XDI Year 2004 - RM52k with leather seat

2. SSANGYONG REXTON RX 270 XDi ‘04 1 owner s/roof, l/seat 7 seater acc free tip-top RM49.5k 0166970666/ 80769026 4/3/2011

If you are not in a rush, spent a bit of time to survey for a good one but must act fact once you found the right one because it could have gone the next day.

Hi Bro R3xt0n,

The hot demand was probably due to the setting up of the Rexton Hub. I have plenty of time so Im not rushing. Probably have till June as that is when my current car road tax due for renewal. Would like to look for one with the memory seat but dont there is one currently listed for sale.

Anyway would suspect 2nd car market wont be so strong any longer due to the middle east crisis hence will have an effect on every one.

Would appreciate your advise on the schedule mileage for major maintenance ie 50k 100k etc

Cheers

Ken

Hi ken,

You are right, maybe 1 out of 5 or 10 potential owner like you introduce yourself, others maybe very silence but pounce once there is a nice rexton for sale..hahaha smile_blush.gif

Time is in your side, so perlahan lahan cari, 1 of our bro here, bro wirahijau found a nice AWD luxury spec smile_thumbup.gif, not sure how much but in very nice tip top condition.

but please don't expect you would found a perfect one....very rare. maybe been neglected because some SC are charging exorbitant price for service/parts..( not all SC, in fact some of the things are much cheaper in SC and some can only be found in SC)

but make sure you are around these thread, from time to time we would put-up a nice and good price rexton for sale.

cheers

NIK

I think the hot demand is because of it's under value when its price dropped too much during it's financial crisis in end of 2008 when the owners panicked that Ssangyong Korea might be shut down but apparently Ssangyong has survived and in fact doing better now, so the used car market value has stablised when lots of buyers find it a worthy buy.

Rexton Hub also helpful to provide better insight and more info about owner experience, parts availability, parts prices, etc.. So, the buyers can make a well informed judgment to make their decision.

Not sure how badly middle east crisis is affecting the economy but for those who needed to buy a used car would consider Rexton more because the value it offered. If the economy is good, buyers could have purchased more expensive brands.

Memory leather seats comes in Full Accessories model that is not very common but like you said, you have time till June. So monitor ads closely and react fast when you found the right one.

You can refer to this thread that I posted the recommended Service Schedule from Owner Manual

I remember there is another bro from PG has been searching for Rex II too. Your current Rexton also in tip top condition. How's the drive after replacing one injector?

From our March TT, we have 2 Rexton II joined us. White Rex surely looks outstanding among the norm of Black and Silver.

Saw this new ads at Mudah from Sabah, Rexton I basic model is selling that high in Sabah but their road tax is real dirt cheap.

Rexton RX270XDI White Year 2006 - RM79,990

thanks bro for your advice. Will get it done one by one. The turbo lag is not always there. Only sometimes.
Don't know how to download photo. But Bro r3xt0n just change his fan coupling and fan blade to one from a Merc. He sure will share his improved enjoyment of his ride. Wait for his story. Neutral 2nd opinion ma


You can email me the photos at rextonhub (@) gmail.com and I will upload for you.

I am uploading the photos taken on the coupling fan, will post it out shortly.
